If you want to hop on the

Android bandwagon, this

session will help you get

started! Here, you will learn

about the basics of traditional

Android application

development using Java,

how most Android apps are

created. In addition, you will

be exposed to a plethora – nay,

a veritable cornucopia! – of

alternative ways of creating

Android apps, from HTML5

and hybrid apps, to 3D gaming

engines and app generators.

You will leave with a good idea

of the technologies that best

fit your skill set, as a starting

point for further exploration.

A few years ago, working with

Windows Azure was simple.

You want a background

service? Use a “Worker” role.

You want a web application?

Use a “Web” role. Today, with

the addition of web sites and

virtual machines, the decision

of what to deploy and how to

deploy it just got harder. In this

session, Flatow will explore

the various hosting options

offered by the Windows Azure

platform, examine the steps

required to deploy to each

environment, and discuss the

advantages and disadvantages

of each solution.

Beautiful, rich, and even

sexy: the user interfaces and

experiences shown on cinema

screens over the years keep

getting better and better. From

the original tricorders and

PADDs in Star Trek, to the

hand-waving, holographic

computer interface used by

Iron Man in his lab, Hollywood

has shown us what could be.

The question is: are these

dream user experiences really

heaven for users or are they

just Hollywood props? In this

session, Randell will take you

through a variety of Hollywood

user experiences and break

them down into the primitives

you should and should not use

in your own application.

Freshly released, ASP.NET

MVC 5 is the latest version

of the popular Microsoft

framework for more

sustainable web development.

This session assumes

some familiarity with the

framework and focuses on the

delta from previous versions.

This includes such areas as

authentication, membership,

routing, HTML templates,

action filters and Web API.

DEATH BY

ASSEMBLING

AGILE

In the world of PCI

compliance and other

government and corporate

security regulations, how does

a web developer deal with the

very real security threats to

their web site? In this session,

Boedigheimer teaches the

“black art” of cryptography,

including public/private

and symmetric encryption,

hashing, digital signatures and

a dash of salt. He will review

the basics of cryptography

and what techniques are

appropriate for various

situations. Discover practical

techniques for securing

content received on public

web sites. Review .NET classes

to use for cryptography, how

ASP.NET uses cryptography,

and how to protect sections of

the web.config file.

9.30am: Death by dogma

versus assembling agile

Almost all organisations, large and

small, are turning towards agile to

escape failing traditional software

development projects. Due to the

strong increase in popularity of agile

approaches and techniques, many

newcomers enter the field of agile

coaching; a lot of them without the

necessary real-life experience but

proudly waving their agile certificates,

proving they at least had two days

of training.

During this challenging talk,

appreciated international speaker

Sander Hoogendoorn, global agile

thought-leader at Capgemini, shows

what happens to organisations and

projects that are coached by well-

meaning consultants with little

experience. Often this leads to very

dogmatic applications of the more

popular agile approaches, mostly

Scrum and Kanban. This dogmatic

thinking currently blocks the use of

more elaborate techniques, tools and

technology in agile projects, even when
